Woburn High
Woburn is a city of approximately 40,000 residents located about 10 miles north of Boston, positioned along I-93 and I-95. Originally settled in 1640, Woburn played a significant role in the leather tanning industry during the 19th century and later became known nationally as the setting for the environmental case documented in "A Civil Action." Today, it's a diverse, working-class community that balances residential neighborhoods with commercial development, maintaining its character as an accessible gateway city to the North Shore region.
